Children, "Good Matches," and
Policies for Care
Professor
Zelizer explores caregiving relationships as another
form of economic consideration. She argues that
unpaid care work is discriminatory and increases economic
insecurity. Resistance to compensation underpins unjust
policies, while Zelizer's "Good Matches" combine
caring work with economic transactions.

Understanding the Backlash: Transnational
Migrant Families in
the Philippines
Professor Parreñas explores
why transnational migrant families are negatively
perceived in a society that economically depends on their
constitution. She shows that growing up in transnational
households is not just made difficult by the physical distance
that hampers intergenerational relations but also by the
lack of public support for such families.

Identity,
Migration, and Development: 'Village Life is Better than
Town Life’
In her research, Professor Cheney considers
how urban Ugandan children have come to imagine their identities
against the African rural-urban migration history and contemporary
development trajectories. By situating her own ethnographic
research historically through the work of the Manchester
School of social research and its intellectual descendants,
Cheyney aims to contextualize current debates about urban-rural
migration to show how it figures in life strategies for urban
families and individual children.
